1. The central issue in this case is whether the Plaintiff could offer the Loan to the Defendant under the Loan Agreement, as it is disputed that the transaction contravenes the Moneylenders Act 1951 (MA 1951). 2. This Court found that the Loan Agreement is unlawful, unenforceable, and in violation of MA 1951, the Plaintiff is not entitled to any remedy.
